Once again it was nice to be on the river, with this being my fellow angler's first trip to Foy. Weather wise, we had the perfect day and although the water level was low there were enough spots to target. We both fished from the nearside bank at the last peg, where we caught 14 chub and 1 barbel. I moved to the middle peg and caught 5 chub and a last cast barbel. I also caught the other from this peg, which was an eel.
We used a variety of hook baits with halibut pellets and halibut luncheon meat being the most successful for 90% of the landed fish, which were all in lovely condition and actually unhooked in the net in the water.

2 Barbel, 19 Chub, 1 Other

River very low and weedy, bright and hot making very difficult conditions to fish. Left around 1pm.. in hindsight should've cone later and fished into the evening.

River was extremely low the only swim we could access was near the top of the beat so a really slow day. Beautiful stretch of the Wye but with river so low most of the swims were not easily accessible for auld codgers. !! The 2 others were Eels

2 Chub, 2 Other

Zero fish and the only bites were from signal cray fish.

3 Chub

Quick two hours in the late afternoon, two Barbel one Chub.

2 Barbel, 1 Chub

Fish from 5-7.30pm. All fish caught using wet fly in the faster water at the head of LA catch and Abernant stream pools. Biggest trout around 1.5lb, grayling around 1lb.

9 Trout, 1 Grayling

I only fished for a couple of hours as the water is so low it made things very challenging. One small grayling caught and a few nicer brown trout spooked!

1 Grayling

After an early season cosseted on Cotswold Trout streams, it would good to get back to a wild river. Not there was that much wild about the Lugg today - in my 20 plus years of fishing it, I have never seen it so low. In spite of the lack of water, it retained a reasonable flow, and fished well; with most of my fish coming from faster water. A couple of risers on a Klinkhammer - with everything else on an Endrick Spider
